Additional comment from candidate:

I am the only candidate that can effect conservative change for this House District and I will represent with the best interest of the people. I have been a resident of the district for over 30 years and there are many issues involving neglect and disregard for our constituents needs and services. I commit to use my almost 3 decades if public service as an employee for the City of Houston to work hard for HD 137 and for the future of Texas. As your next state representative, I will work tirelessly to bring revenue to the state and jobs to the district. I will work to raise the overall quality of life for families by improving our education opportunities, public safety, transparency, transportation, infrastructure and public trust. I am asking for your vote.
